The Boone Marker
"We are in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Mark S. Salisburg state Regent, Daughters of the American Revolution, stating that she had ordered the bronze tablet for the Daniel Boone marker. This tablet will have the following inscription: "Erected by the descendants, Warren County, and the Daughters of the American Revolution." It will cost $160.00 and has taken all the available funds she had on hand, now she needs about $100.00 more to pay for the boulder and she hopes that the people of Warren County will assist and help pay for this. Let's get busy and assist them. Anyone wishing to assist in placing a marker on the grave of Daniel Boone and his wife Rebecca, nee Bryan, may sent their donations to this office. This marker will be dedicated on Friday, Oct. 29."

Daniel Boone Burial Site and Monument
Boone Monument Road, Marthasville
Daniel Boone, born October 22, 1734, in Berks County, PA, died in 1820 in Missouri. The original monument was commissioned by the Daughters of the American Revolution and dedicated in 1915. The site was selected by Daniel as a final resting place for he and his wife Rebecca, who died in 1813. The monument stands as a tribute to the old fighting Quaker. In 2008, nearly 100 years after the dedication, a vandal struck, completely destroying the bronze faceplate. Sadly it was cut up and sold for scrap, with the total loot valued at under $100.00. On July 25th, 2009, the D.A.R. rededicated the monument and installed a new faceplate made of black marble. Further improvements and restoration of this very historic site are underway, thanks to the Warren County Commission and Friends of Daniel Boone Burial Site in Missouri.
